Yeh Loula you are right,thats the latest I can do it in. I did 16.5 in 3h 19 so I may be able to do 20 in 3.50 as I was going very slow. I know I will be a tad speedier on the day.I just didnt want to risk an injury.

I've just what could be a really fab idea, or a rubbish one - franny could text me things for us "hoping to get round in the time allowed group" to talk about. A bit like "just a minute", they need to be interesting and random. Lou, rocker and the really quick ones will be fine as someone in that group always has plenty to talk about

by eck/MC, when i did Gloucester marathon that had a 5hour cut off too and i talked the whole way round with a lady id met there-2 ladies on one of the drink statins couldnt believe we were still nattering away 20 odd miles later!! :00

Plus also we won't need to worry too much about running for the next week, unless you're one of the ultra nutters. Running a marathon seems to mean your family and friends are a bit more supportive than just doing a long training run.

went to spinning and my calf started feeling odd when we were doing a sprint. SO didn't go fast after that, don't want to have any injuries. Might get the foam roller out later. Not swimming tonight - going to take it easy, have an early night and get up and run again tomorrow
